Genshin Impact Leaks Notable Quality of Life Upgrade for Version 5.2

A new Genshin Impact leak has revealed a notable upgrade to the Gadget Quick Swap menu that will help players explore each region more comfortably starting from Version 5.2. Genshin Impact first introduced the Gadget Quick Swap function in its 3.7 update, but the game’s open-world map has grown so much since then that fans have long asked for an upgrade.

The Gadget Quick Swap allowed players to easily switch between four Gadgets from their inventory while collecting Chests and Oculi. For example, they could equip their Gadget Quick Swap menu with either four Treasure Compasses or four Oculus Resonance Stones from any region. This way, players didn’t need to constantly open their inventory to use their exploration Gadgets. However, since Genshin Impact released Natlan, the number of regional Treasure Compasses and Oculus Resonance Stones has increased to six each. This surpassed the slots available in the Gadget Quick Swap menu and has forced players to open their inventories for every region again. Fortunately, it seems this issue will be fixed just in time for Genshin Impact Version 5.2.

A recent leak by AkariLeaks and Spletnik_fatui reveals a new quality-of-life feature that will automatically swap players’ Treasure Compasses and Oculus Resonance Stones depending on the region they are currently in. For instance, if players have their Liyue Treasure Compass equipped when they suddenly enter Inazuma, then their Gadget Quick Swap menu will automatically swap it for the Inazuma Treasure Compass. The same will occur with Oculus Resonance Stones. Earlier leaks showed that Genshin Impact is also upgrading Treasure Compasses to show hidden Seelies and Challenges on the map. Combined with a new Gadgets upgrade, exploration could become far easier for fans.

Genshin Impact Leaks Automatic Swap Between Regional Gadgets

After the Gadget Quick Swap menu became too small for all regional exploration tools, fans have long asked for more slots. However, an automatic swap between regional Treasure Compasses and Oculus Resonance Stones would likely be a better solution, since two slots would always remain available. Genshin Impact recently increased its popularity in certain regions thanks to the launch of Version 5.1. If the next update brings plenty of quality-of-life features and content, the game’s playerbase might experience another resurgence.

Not all players enjoyed the latest update to the fullest, though. Genshin Impact 5.1 lacked some English voice lines during the Archon Quest, giving fans a less immersive gameplay experience. Whether this issue will persist in Genshin Impact Version 5.2 remains to be seen.
